"We could have been any other European family headed to Thailand for our two weeks of Christmas vacation. But we weren't.

We were Canadian, and we arrived in Bangkok via Qatar and Amman, Jordan.

We had left our cold northern home six weeks previous, and had, in that time, visited eight countries on three continents, and traveled half way around the world.

Minds tired, bodies exhausted, hungry, dirty and dusty with desert sand, covered with bites, and on edge from the last week of immediate threat to our personal security. Twitchy and nervous, scared for our four children.

Would you drop your confortable, daily routine and set off to explore the world with your husband and four children on a globe-trotting adventure of a lifetime?

Life is full of such opportunities, some of them by chance and others by choice. Lisa Anderson, middle school teacher, small business manager and farmwife, embraced the risks, and has never regretted it.

Now a Canadian Author Association award nominee and popular guest speaker, she spends her days encouraging others to live their best life, at every age. And she continues to explore our world with her family, one day at a time.
